My M275A2E1 tractor is equipped with the LDS engine, and I regularly pull a 25 ton lowboy weighing 10,000 lbs, and the most I have carried is 26,000 lbs. The trailer brakes do most of the braking. If you look at a data plate for a gas M-48 or M275, you will see that the gross trailer weight...

4/9 UPDATE: More deuces arriving at Ft. Sam by the day, sweeties, notice they are riding IN STYLE on RGN's, no Redstone antics down here in TEXAS. Not sure where they are from because the unit markings were painted over with yellow paint, I think OK is using red paint??? Whoever...

Doesn't look bad to me at all. If that hard top is made out of steel, that is a hard to find item, and the Braden winch set up is very desirable. If you don't mind having a kinda slow truck, fixing what you got could be a option. Brake parts are not that bad, and you could fab up a wiring...

Is it me or are those MTVR's a little bit fugly looking at the front end? I think it is those rectangular headlights, how 1980ish of Oshkosh . . . But the 450hp makes up for it . . .

Is this the store on Longpoint? They supply Stewart and Stevenson, I mean Armor Holdings, the paint for the FMTV's in Sealy from there.

Wallace Wade Tire will fix you up at the best price.

vj, many kudos to you for taking the time to restore this incredible WWII truck. All of us need to pay more attention to the second war steel soldiers, like the WWII human soldiers, these trucks are getting few and far between. They deserve our attention, even if they are slow and burn huge...

Twright, if you have your bent one, one option is to take it to a driveline shop and they will retube it for $150.

Cutting out at high speed is a fuel starvation problem. Mine does that when the fuel filter is getting plugged. It can be the in-tank screen plugged with goo. Blow through the hose on top of the tank with your mouth, should blow easily. Various chassis fuel hoses can be collapsed internally...

Tires for the 880 (9.50-16.5) are not available from gov't surplus. They are still made, see a tire dealer, they will run you about 125 ea. You can mount HMMWV tires which are 16.5 if you do some lifting. What do you need for the steering column? Post a WTB in the classified section, lots of...

Has anyone found a safe way of neatly rewinding the cable after a pull? My method involves engaging the winch, running out of the cab and grabbing the cable with leather gloves, and guideing it onto the drum. The extra dangerous part is the last few feet when I have to jump in the cab and...

You are missing the little L shaped bracket that holds the lamp to the rear bumper. You can fab one, there is not much to it.

They come up on GSA but never GL - all out of the system long ago.

Trailer plug is the same and the BO stop should be too, there was only one version of this lamp for BO stop. The wire plugs directly into the lamp.

Nice. Big GMC gas V-6 in that? Dodge and more recently Mack made versions of this refueler.

You have a rarity there. Back in the 70's when these were surplussed, the scrappers couldn't cut these up fast enough . . .

Radiation!!! You bet, just on the 1950's trucks with the radium lettering on the gauges. Try bringing a old rusted deuce to a modern scrap yard, that's what those sensors are at the scales, they will come running out of the scalehouse and throw you off the property, ask me how I know . . .

Well as of today it looks like about 400 bucks. (Redstone auction)

In Houston they have 7.00-16 NDCC, 9.00-20 NDCC, 11.00-20 NDCC, HMMWV Goodyear Wranglers, the Goodyear and Michelins for 900 series 5 tons, and the HEMMTT monsters. All are nice deep rubber

The trailer double stacked is a C-2 wrecking trailer, same purpose as the 269/270. Has 15" 6 hole wheels with LPT tires like the M172.
